Article Abstract
Background: Pediatric organ transplantation is the primary treatment for end-organ failure. Improving medication adherence and healthcare compliance can decrease healthcare burdens, graft rejection, morbidity, and mortality. Adolescents commonly struggle with non-adherence, necessitating a smooth transition to adult care. This systematic review aims to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of existing transition tools and models used in the care of pediatric solid organ transplant recipients (pSOTR).
Methods: A systematic literature review of studies in electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Mendeley) on interventions improving transition in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients (pSOTR) from 2000 to 2022 was conducted. Included studies involved pSOTR before the age of 12 years transitioning to adult care.
Results: A lower proportion of graft acute rejection was observed among pSOTR with more than two transition interventions (10.088%, 95% CI: 0.901%-27.441%, I = 85.95%, p < 0.0001, random effects, five studies, n = 155) compared to those with two or fewer interventions (13.892%, 95% CI: 4.588%-27.142%, I = 74.73%, p = 0.0014, random effects, six studies, n = 140). Additionally, a significant association was found between transition protocols and lower rejection rates (χ = 10.57, p = 0.0011), with multiple protocols showing better outcomes (χ = 5.091, p = 0.024). Although adherence scores differed significantly with and without transition protocols (χ = 8.75, p = 0.0126), no significant difference was found between single and multiple protocol groups (χ = 4.8, p = 0.091).
Conclusion: This review identifies various transition models and their impact on adherence and graft rejection, which correlate with morbidity and mortality and influence transplant outcomes. The heterogeneity of data within the current literature necessitates further research to establish causality and develop a standardized transition program aimed at improving patient outcomes.

Durotaxis, cell migration along stiffness gradients, is linked to embryonic development, tissue repair and disease. Despite solid in vitro evidence, its role in vivo remains largely speculative. Here we demonstrate that durotaxis actively drives disease progression in vivo in mouse models of lung fibrosis and metastatic pancreatic cancer.

The significant global energy consumption strongly emphasizes the crucial role of net-zero or green structures in ensuring a sustainable future. Considering this aspect, incorporating thermal insulation materials into building components is a well-accepted method that helps to enhance thermal comfort in buildings. Furthermore, integrating architectural components made from solid refuse materials retrieved from the environment can have significant environmental benefits.

Objective: Multiple studies have confirmed that viral pneumonia is a high-risk factor for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), this retrospective study aims to analyze the differences in clinical characteristics, prognosis, and high-risk factors for mortality between patients with influenza virus-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) and those with COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA).
Methods: Clinical data from IAPA and CAPA patients diagnosed at four hospitals were collected. The clinical characteristics and prognostic differences between the two groups were analyzed and compared, with Cox regression used to identify the risk factors for mortality.
